Proposition 65

Involving several years of work, the California Hotel & Lodging Association (CH&LA) has developed a comprehensive compliance procedure which will protect you and provide your hotel guests and patrons throughout California useful information about exposures to chemicals listed under Proposition 65. Adopted by the voters in 1986, Proposition 65 requires certain business owners to notify individuals prior to 'knowingly and intentionally' exposing them to chemicals 'known to the State of California' to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm.

Newly revised informational brochures are now available that include an updated list of chemicals from the State of California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency.
